Cleaning and Preventive
Cleaning and preventive dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on maintaining the health of the teeth and gums and preventing oral diseases. The primary goal of cleaning and preventive dentistry is to maintain good oral health and prevent the development of dental problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
The process of cleaning and preventive dentistry typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation: A dentist will examine your mouth and take x-rays to determine the overall health of your teeth and gums. They will discuss with you any areas of concern and the recommended treatment plan.
- Cleaning: The dentist or dental hygienist will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from the teeth and gums. They will also polish the teeth to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth.
- Fluoride Treatment: The dentist or dental hygienist may apply fluoride to the teeth to help strengthen the enamel and prevent tooth decay.
- Oral Cancer Screening: A thorough examination of the mouth, including the tongue, gums, cheeks, and neck for any signs of oral cancer.
- Education And Counseling: The dentist or dental hygienist will provide education on proper oral hygiene techniques, such as brushing and flossing, as well as diet and lifestyle recommendations to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
- Follow-Up: The patient will need to have regular follow-up appointments, usually every six months, to maintain good oral health and to monitor the progress of the treatment.
It’s important to note that preventive dentistry is a continuous process that aims to maintain oral health, prevent oral diseases and detect any issues early before they become severe. Regular check-ups, cleanings and preventive measures can help to maintain healthy teeth and gums, reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum diseases and ultimately, save money on costly treatments in the future.
